Lao Wang was not an indecisive and softhearted person. As long as Earth was not involved, he would not go against the orders of the Star Alliance to stand up for a level-4 civilization that he did not know. Even if he felt sorry for them, he would not go against the orders of the Star Alliance to stand up for them. More importantly, he felt a trace of danger in the depths of the ocean of the Ocean Empire Planet. This old man appeared to be very frightened, but there was no fear at all. In fact, there was even a trace of disdain. Since he dared to ask the Machinery Race to investigate instead of other departments, it meant that there might be a problem with this matter.
If this was the case, he had to be even more cautious. He did not want to attract something terrifying just because he carried out the orders of the Internal Gates brainlessly and lose his life here.
"Your Highness Wang Zhong." While Wang Zhong was hesitating, Gelawentu, who was beside him, had already slowly said, "The crimes of the Ocean Empire Planet have been pronounced by the Internal Gates. There is no doubt that they have betrayed the Star Alliance. Asking the Machinery Race to investigate is obviously a delaying tactic to stall for time. Your Highness Wang Zhong must not be fooled. What's more, a mere level-4 civilization is not worth the trouble. Please pronounce the verdict immediately! "
"A mere level-4 civilization? That's hundreds of billions of lives. " Wang Zhong looked at him indifferently. He was very clear about the rules of the Star Alliance and the Internal Gates, including the role he played in this Celestial Honors Mission. The entire process would be monitored. The Internal Gates would not only ask him to carry out the mission, but it was also a kind of assessment. The Internal Gates would make various judgments based on his performance, including loyalty to the Heavenly Gates, personality, strength, and so on. Therefore, his degree of freedom and authority in this mission could be said to be quite high. He was fully qualified to ask the Star Alliance to re-investigate, let alone have a deputy command him. "Captain Gelawentu, you seem to have forgotten your identity. I am the judge of this operation. You only need to obey."
"Yes." Gelawentu nodded. "May I ask what is Your Highness' decision?"
Wang Zhong looked at the entire Ocean Empire Planet civilization below and the army that was ready for battle. They were already prepared, but they refused to admit it. He was afraid that the inside story was too complicated, and he and the Earthlings were not qualified to get involved.
"Ocean Emperor, you really did not kill the Star Alliance messenger?" Wang Zhong asked loudly.
"Absolutely not! Please tell the Star Alliance that the Ocean Empire Planet is willing to open up everything for the Machinery Race to investigate! "Ocean Emperor said sincerely. His tone had become calm and even a little strange.
"Alright." Wang Zhong's voice sounded in the air. "I will leave two subordinates to monitor the Ocean Empire Planet. Then, I will return to the Star Alliance and ask them to send the Machinery Race to re-investigate this matter. If you are indeed wronged, I will definitely find out the truth and clear your names."
"Thank you, my lord!" Previously, when he heard Wang Zhong announce the charges, his heart had already sunk. Of course, he knew that someone was slandering him, but was that important? Once the Star Alliance made such a move, it was obvious that they were determined to kill you. The truth was not important at all. Someone in the Star Alliance must have taken a fancy to the huge wealth of the Ocean Empire Planet. One had to know that the Ocean Empire Planet was a super-rich civilization that could rival half of the Illusion Race. It was rich in marine resources and produced all kinds of rare treasures. Furthermore, there were not many people in the Ocean Empire Planet who were good at accumulating pills. Although there were very few who had reached a high level, there were countless level-8 and level-9 alchemists. It was once considered a relatively large low-level pill supply market in the divine territory. "Sir, you have saved the Ocean Empire Planet. Your kindness is akin to giving us a new lease on life. The Ocean Empire Planet is extremely grateful!"
"Wait!" Gelawentu suddenly interrupted. His voice was no longer as gentle and respectful as before, but cold. "Your Highness Wang Zhong, you don't seem to understand the situation."
"Oh?" Wang Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The order from the Inner Gates is to execute them directly. Does Your Highness want to disobey the order?"
"According to the rules of the Inner Gates, the leader has the right to make all decisions for all Celestial Honors missions." Wang Zhong looked at him coldly. If Gelawentu's previous objection was still within the scope of Lao Wang's understanding, but at this moment, just by looking at Gelawentu's expression and attitude, Wang Zhong had already smelled something unusual. "I am a member of the law enforcement team, and I am more familiar with the laws of the Star Alliance than you. Furthermore, can the Ocean Empire Planet run away?"
"Hehe, if it is just a small matter, then Your Highness certainly has the right to make decisions. But to execute a civilization that has betrayed the Star Alliance, what is there for Your Highness to question?" Gelawentu laughed. "The Ocean Empire Planet is recognized as a traitor by the Star Alliance. For Your Highness to speak up for a civilization that has betrayed the Star Alliance and buy time for them, could it be that Your Highness has colluded with them?"
"Is it because of the wealth of the Ocean Empire Planet? Is it because you have accepted their property? "
The Yiheluo brothers, who were beside Gelawentu, also spoke up.
"Hehe, I heard that Your Highness was very rich before you entered the Celestial Honors Class. It is far from what a level-4 civilization that has just joined the Star Alliance can afford."
"Colluding with a traitor is the same as betraying the Star Alliance. According to the highest laws of the Star Alliance, anyone can kill them!"
Just as Yiheluo's cold voice fell, without warning, the aura of a few Solid Core experts silently overflowed from their bodies and enveloped Wang Zhong!
"Don't force us to take action, Your Highness Wang Zhong." Gelawentu smiled and said, "It is not wise for you to collude with a civilization that is bound to fall and ruin your bright future for the sake of money. Let me give you a piece of advice. It is not too late to turn back now! "
The few Star Alliance emissaries actually started to make a ruckus, and the Ocean Empire Race below also did not know what was going on.
"Force you to take action? Are the few of you planning to kill me and then carry out this mission to the end? "Wang Zhong smiled faintly and looked at the five people behind him.
"We don't dare." As if realizing that his tone was too harsh, Gelawentu took a step back slightly and bowed slightly. "I just want to remind Your Highness not to do anything that will destroy your future …"
"I don't need you to worry about my future," Wang Zhong said faintly. "You can either carry out my orders or take action against me. Captain Gelawentu, what's your choice?"
The few Solid Cores were silent and looked at each other. After a long time, Gelawentu's tone softened slightly. "Since Your Highness is so stubborn, we will naturally listen to Your Highness's arrangements."
"Very good." Wang Zhong did not even look at him and directly ordered, "Ocean Emperor, I will send someone to stay here to monitor the Ocean Empire Race. Before the Machinery Race arrives, no one is allowed to leave the Ocean Empire Planet. Do you have any objections?"
"Sir, please rest assured! Since Your Highness is seeking justice for the Ocean Empire Planet civilization, everyone in the Ocean Empire Planet will naturally listen to Your Highness's arrangements and will not dare to have any objections! The emissary that Your Highness sends to stay here is naturally a distinguished guest of the Ocean Empire Planet civilization! We will not dare to neglect him in the slightest! " The king of the Ocean Empire Race was a god-like existence on the Ocean Empire Planet, but in front of Wang Zhong, he was as respectful as a servant. It had been two eras since they joined the Star Alliance, and the Ocean Empire Civilization had long been used to it. The king of a low-level civilization was actually just so-so in the Star Alliance.
Wang Zhong nodded and looked behind Gelawentu, but before Lao Wang could speak, Gelawentu had already said, "Yi Heqian, listen to His Highness's orders. You stay."
The youngest of the four Blood Demons nodded in agreement.
Wang Zhong glanced at Gelawentu, only to see Gelawentu smile slightly. "Your Highness, please don't blame me for making this decision on my own. The other three will follow me on another mission after we return. Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for us."
"Hehe …" Lao Wang smiled meaningfully and said faintly, "Contact the Great Elder and return to the Heavenly Gates!"
"Yes."
"Farewell, Star Alliance Emissary! Farewell, Your Highness! "The Ocean Emperor and the other Void Cores bowed in unison, their expressions extremely sincere and respectful.
With a wave of Gelawentu's hand, a ray of light flashed, and an independent space appeared in front of everyone.
Separated by an endless distance, of course, it was impossible to contact the Great Elder who guarded the Dimensional Gate out of thin air. Those who entered and exited the Dimensional Gate would often first set up a coordinate reference as a token. When it was activated, the Great Elder would naturally sense it and immediately open the Dimensional Gate for you. This kind of coordinate reference could be casually set up on a personal item, or if it was more cautious, it would be set up in an independent, enclosed space. After all, the energy fluctuations during wormhole transmission were huge. If it was casually opened in a space at the edge of the world, it was very likely to be as dangerous as the black hole created by Inca City on Earth. Destroying a city was already the smallest loss, and in serious cases, directly destroying a planet would be as easy as snapping a finger.
Gelawentu's enclosed space was obviously given to him by the Fire Demon Race for this mission. Otherwise, with his strength that was not even a Gold Core, he would not be qualified to have something like this fragment world …
"Your Highness, please follow me."
This was the first time that Lao Wang had stepped into such an enclosed space after coming to the Land. It felt a bit like his own fragment world, a floating independent continent surrounded by a closed barrier. However, the area was much larger, with a radius of about 20 kilometers. The sealing and stability of the space were also quite outstanding. Of course, the difference from his own fragment world was that there was no rich spiritual influence here. The entire space seemed lifeless. Although it could accommodate living creatures, even a monster like Lao Wang who was extremely adaptable would feel irritated and depressed after staying in such a place for a long time. It was not suitable for living at all, let alone having the magical effect of cultivating elixirs in Wang Zhong's fragment world.
However …
There was no Dimensional Gate. In fact, Wang Zhong did not even feel any energy fluctuations from the wormhole. On the other hand, the space they were in was completely sealed off as soon as they entered. The Ocean Empire Planet outside could no longer sense anything.
Gelawentu hovered in front of him, while Yiheluo and the other two stood behind him in a fan shape, faintly forming an encirclement.
"Captain Gelawentu.
He had long felt that there was something wrong with these people. The difference between their respect in the Heavenly Gates and their offense on Ocean Empire Planet was too big. Who would believe that there was nothing wrong with them? Wang Zhong looked at Gelawentu in front of him with an indifferent expression. "Why are you surrounding me instead of contacting the Great Elder? What is the meaning of this?"
"I always felt that you were a smart person to be able to rise from the bottom. Can't you see the meaning of this?" Gelawentu slowly turned around. "But to be able to remain so calm in such a situation, even I can't help but admire you. You are indeed a native from a peripheral world. Not only is your combat assessment very strong, your psychological quality is also not bad."
"They say that the Fire Demon and Blood Demon families are related because of the Blood Demon Race?"
"Do you think that's important?" Gelawentu sneered. The show was over. The sealed space isolated everything. Even those who were about to die on Ocean Empire Planet would not be able to see this scene. There was no need to waste time on a mere Void Core. "Attack!"
The eyes of Yiheluo and the other two flashed. "Die!"
To deal with a Void Core, three Solid Cores had joined forces. Obviously, the other party did not intend to give Wang Zhong any chance. Three rays of green and blue light suddenly shot out from their bodies towards Wang Zhong. The speed was extremely fast, and there was no sound of wind breaking at all. At the same time, the spiritual power of the three Solid Cores also descended!
The biggest difference between a Solid Core and a Void Core was not only in the amount of spiritual power, but also in the quality of spiritual power. The aura of three Solid Core Blood Demons suppressed Wang Zhong from all directions at the same time, as if increasing the spiritual pressure and gravity in the surroundings. This kind of pressure was real and not illusory psychological pressure. In just an instant, the surrounding spiritual pressure suddenly increased by at least ten times. In this situation, ordinary Void Cores would find it difficult to even move.
Wang Zhong's movements seemed to be restricted in an instant, becoming slow and stiff. But in the end, Wang Zhong was still a genius who had been accepted into the Celestial Honors Class. Yiheluo only felt that his opponent's strange footwork had already started as soon as he launched his attack. Although he was still half a beat slower, he managed to avoid the vital parts of his attack.
A hint of excitement and sharpness flashed in Yiheluo's eyes. The green light instantly hit its target. The solid feeling of penetrating flesh and the smell of fresh blood were always the favorite feelings of the Blood Demon Race. Furthermore, this was the blood of a Highness from the Celestial Honors Class. One had to know that if it was a normal Highness from the Celestial Honors Class, Yiheluo would have no chance of winning. However, Wang Zhong had entered the Celestial Honors Class as a Void Core. His potential was unimaginable, but his strength … After all, he was only a Void Core. It was enough for the Blood Demon Race to send three of their own clansmen. They even sent Captain Gelawentu from the Fire Demon Race to attack Wang Zhong.
The green light only rushed out a few dozen meters from Wang Zhong before turning around. With the speed of the green light, the speed at which it turned around was simply unimaginable. A green short sword appeared in Yiheluo's hand, and the two clansmen on the east and west side of him also had the same result. However, Wang Zhong managed to avoid the vital parts of their attacks. For a Void Core to have such reaction and speed, it was really something to be proud of.
All of a sudden, Wang Zhong shouted out, "Wait!"
"If you have anything to say, save it for the dead." There was no hesitation in Gelawentu's eyes, and the three Blood Demons did not hesitate either as they shot forward again.
However, Wang Zhong's voice, which was transmitted through spiritual power, quickly reached the ears of the three of them. "Do you want to know the secret of how I can refine Perfect Pills every time? Do you want to know the secret of how I can attract elemental spirits? "
"Stop!"
The three Blood Demons who were rushing in the air instantly stopped. The three artifacts were almost in front of Wang Zhong, and they quietly stopped a few feet away from him.
The one who stopped them was Gelawentu. At this time, his face flashed with an erratic light. Obviously, he was extremely interested in Wang Zhong's words.
No matter who it was, Wang Zhong's rise was inconceivable. To existences like the Heavenly Shell Superintendent or some seniors who hoped for the Heavenly Gates to become stronger, they were happy to see such a rise and would even take action to help and guide him. Every genius had their own secrets. Experts who truly cared about the Heavenly Gates would not get to the bottom of this as it would easily force a genius who belonged to the Heavenly Gates to the opposite side. But that was only for those who were at a very high level. For Solid Cores like Gelawentu, their dream was to improve their strength at all times, and they would dig up all the resources and information they could find. Normally, they would not dare to inquire about the secrets of a Master of the Celestial Honors Class. Angering a Master of the Heavenly Gates was equivalent to angering the Heavenly Gates. However, the situation was different now. The higher-ups had ordered them to kill Wang Zhong. Just now, it was just a few tentative attacks from his subordinates, and Wang Zhong had already revealed his background. He was a very strong Void Core, but there was nothing to worry about. In his eyes, Wang Zhong was already a dead man, so why not maximize his value? Why not get some benefits for himself while carrying out the orders from the higher-ups?
This Wang Zhong came from a low-level civilization, but he rose so quickly. It was very likely that he had accidentally obtained an inheritance or treasure from a senior in the Land. If such a thing could fall into his hands …
"Your Highness Wang Zhong …" He smiled slowly. "Do you want to use this information in exchange for your own life?"
"Hehe, I'm not that naive." Wang Zhong covered the wound on his shoulder, which seemed to be just a superficial wound.
He had long known from the information that Wang Zhong was extremely good at moving flexibly. Being able to do this while facing the oppressive attack of a Solid Core was indeed extraordinary.
"Then I'm relieved." Gelawentu laughed. If Wang Zhong was really that naive, he would definitely agree verbally. Obviously, Wang Zhong was not that stupid. "Then what is Your Highness Wang Zhong going to exchange for this information?"
"I want to die knowing the truth." Wang Zhong chuckled, completely unconcerned about his superficial injuries. "I want you to answer a few questions."
Gelawentu looked at him indifferently.
Buying time to recover from his injury? Trying to send a message to the outside world to ask for help? Or was there some special artifact that needed time to prepare?
Various possibilities flashed through Gelawentu's mind in an instant, but he quickly eliminated them one by one. This was a sealed space that was under his control, and the entire sealed space itself was a level-5 domain-type artifact. This was given to him solely for this mission by the Fire Demon Race, and it was completely under his control. Everything in the space was within his range of perception, and even the most advanced communication device of the Machinery Race could not penetrate this artifact space. If Wang Zhong wanted to send a message out, it would be a waste of his energy. As for recovering from his injury or preparing a special artifact, Gelawentu did not care about the former at all. He would let Wang Zhong recover. As for the latter, if it was really a powerful defensive artifact given to him by the Heavenly Shell Race, as long as it was slightly activated, Gelawentu would be able to sense it immediately! After all, this was his own space. What was there to be afraid of?
